Products Knowledge

In industrial settings, all-in-one computers may continuously run complex industrial software, perform data acquisition and processing, and even operate non-stop for 24 hours, placing stringent demands on their cooling performance. Poor cooling can cause the device to overheat and throttle, affecting its operating speed, and in severe cases, it may even damage internal components. Therefore, accurately assessing the cooling performance of an all-in-one computer is key to ensuring its stable and reliable operation in industrial applications. 

Observe Cooling Hardware Configuration

Cooling hardware is the foundation that determines the cooling performance of an all-in-one computer, and it can be assessed from aspects such as the heat sink, fans, and thermal conductive materials. The specifications and material of the heat sink are crucial. Generally speaking, a heat sink that is larger in volume, has more and denser fins can provide a greater cooling area, which helps dissipate heat more quickly. For example, an all-in-one computer with a large-area aluminum fin heat sink can improve cooling efficiency by 20% to 30% compared to a regular heat sink.

When the temperature rises, the fans automatically speed up to enhance cooling. Additionally, the quality of the thermal conductive material also affects the cooling effect. High-quality thermal paste can better fill the tiny gaps between the CPU and the heat sink, reducing thermal resistance and improving thermal conductivity.

If an all-in-one computer uses thermal paste with a high thermal conductivity coefficient, it can be considered a plus for cooling performance.

Assess the Cooling Design Architecture of ThinView PC

The cooling design architecture of ThinView PC should be evaluated to ensure that it can meet the cooling requirements. A well-designed cooling system should be able to handle the heat generated by the components under load and maintain a stable operating temperature.

Conduct Actual Load Testing

Actual load testing is essential to verify the cooling performance of an all-in-one computer. By running the computer under conditions that simulate real industrial usage, you can observe whether the temperature remains stable and if there are any signs of overheating. If the computer can operate stably without performance degradation or failures due to overheating, its cooling performance is more convincing.

Consider Industrial Environment Adaptability

Industrial environments are complex and varied, and different environmental conditions have different requirements for the cooling performance of all-in-one computers. In high-temperature environments, such as steel mills and smelters, ambient temperatures can reach 50°C or even higher, which requires all-in-one computers to have good high-temperature resistance. In addition to the inherent cooling capabilities of the hardware, it is also important to consider the wide temperature operating range of the all-in-one computer. Those that can operate normally in higher ambient temperatures must have specially designed and optimized cooling systems.

In dusty environments, such as mines and cement plants, dust can easily clog heat sinks and fans, affecting cooling performance. When selecting an all-in-one computer for industrial use, it is important to consider the specific environmental factors and choose a model that is suitable for the corresponding environment to ensure stable and reliable cooling performance in actual industrial applications.

To determine if the cooling performance of an all-in-one computer meets industrial requirements, a comprehensive assessment must be made from multiple aspects, including cooling hardware configuration, design architecture, actual load testing, and industrial environment adaptability. Only by fully considering these factors can you select an all-in-one computer with excellent cooling performance, providing a strong guarantee for the stable operation of industrial production.
